I know this has been mentioned before but I tried to make it simple enough for some announcers:

You either die a Tiger, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Jayhawk.

I has come to my attention that an L was spotted in Pressey.

It appears that both Matt and Flip were unaware of this as well. Also of note Mike Anderson was their Dad’s roomate in college.

Pingeton's women have a ways to go

They had a beautiful little run in the first half, but beyond that, it wasn’t a very pretty game.

Great piece on Seven Nation Army

agreed

heard the Michigan student section singing that at the end of the Notre Dame game earlier this year and now it totally makes sense. really cool article.

We need something like this

Since it’s Missouri, maybe a sing-a-long to some Sammy Hagar song or something.

Yes. Wisconsin has "Jump Around" begining the 4th...

Seven Nation Army is spreading…

…there are many ways to think about this. Should the song just be catchy? Should it have some sort of Mizzou oriented meaning? Maybe just try and relate an overal mind set at a time during the game?

My first thought. “Invaders Must Die”, The Prodigy.

I think it would be cool if had kind of an epic quality to it

And it needs to be something the band can play. It bothers me that we have a band that practices and shows up for every game, yet we pipe in music over the PA system. If we’re going to do that, let’s just mic the band and let them play over the PA.

YES!

Great idea.

If there was some way

To get the band to play the instrumental part of 300 Violin Orchestra and get the crowd to do the clap/stomp part, that would be amazing. But given that the crowd can’t even clap in rhythm to the Missouri Waltz, I think that would be entirely too much to hope for.

One problem with coordinating a crowd in a football stadium

is the speed of sound. Unless the music is coming from speakers situated all over the stadium, or the crowd’s working on visual cues alone, you will never be in sync.

Did anyone else not know the game today is at 4:30 until watching the game this past Saturday?

I set the DVR to start recording, but don’t know that I have the will power to not check to see what the score is.

It's an off day for me

Not a day off for me...

Finally being on the East coast helps with watching the game

I should be home from work in time for the start (but have the DVR set just in case).

So there's a thing called the "Casino del Sol College Football All Star Game"

Which is apparently being played tonight, and I have no idea if any network is even showing the game, but I looked at the rosters and Jerrell Jackson’s name is listed, so…good for him. That’s about all I can say as I’ve never watched this or the North-South, or the Senior Bowl.

Interesting article on next year's SEC

Mark Richt is one of many FBS head coaches who doesn’t have a full-time special teams coach. Still, he might be overdue in rethinking that policy. You saw how the Bulldogs imploded in the third phase vs. LSU in the SEC title game and in their Outback Bowl loss to Michigan State. Kicker Blair Walsh, who kind of fell apart as a senior, must be replaced. So must punter Drew Butler, who booted the ball pretty well but had a poor net average partly because of the direction of his kicks but more because the Bulldogs were awful at covering all kicks. It’s all a mess Richt has to address in a big way.

FAKE PUNTS! LOTS AND LOTS OF FAKE PUNTS!
